#IsraelIranConflict The Israel-Iran conflict is a long-running and multifaceted geopolitical rivalry in the Middle East, involving military, ideological, and proxy dimensions. Here are the core issues behind the conflict
1. Ideological Hostility:
Iran's Islamic Republic opposes Israel’s existence, often calling for its elimination.
Israel sees Iran’s regime as a major threat to its security.
2. Nuclear Program:
Iran’s uranium enrichment program is viewed by Israel as a path to nuclear weapons.
Israel has repeatedly taken covert and overt actions to stop Iran’s nuclear progress (e.g., cyberattacks like Stuxnet, assassination of nuclear scientists).
3. Regional Influence & Proxy Wars:
Iran supports Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas and Islamic Jihad in Gaza, and militias in Syria and Iraq.
Israel frequently strikes Iranian targets in Syria to prevent weapons transfers and entrenchment.
